EU offices closed over cartoons
Members of the defeated Fatah faction in Palestine have closed the EU offices in Gaza as part of a protest against three European papers which have published what some Muslims regard as blasphemous representations of the prophet Muhammad in cartoon form. The issue blogging here.

felix, as I’ve already stated, I do not support islam or any other religion, I find them all abhorent.
Can I ask, would you be for or against an invasion of Iran if resolution or agreement to the current nuclear dispute cannot be reached?
Posted by on Feb 09, 2006 @ 07:56 PMAaaii, they’re infecting NBiffo and some others now, or is that the famous (Ulster)Scots dourness? I tell you, if the Muslims don’t acquire a sense of humor real soon then none of us is safe in our cities, our towns, our offices, our homes, our airplanes, our cars, our subways etc. Maybe Jackie Mason or Larry David could help them out?

Posted by on Feb 09, 2006 @ 08:20 PMAh right, T.H.F., I’m the one with the extremist position am I? How very interesting. And there I was thinking I had a sense of humor and could laugh at myself, others, religions, gods, devils, death, war, and anything else we humans are capable of. Now you’re telling me my laughter is feeding terrorism? Wow. How did we get here?
Posted by on Feb 09, 2006 @ 08:29 PMIf freedom of expression feeds terrorism then why are the terrorists so opposed to it? Because freedom, art, laughter are all the enemies of absolutists and the antidotes to propaganda.
Jill,
Larry David. Good choice.

“You are losing the run of yourself”
I’m actually being quite restrained. If you go to the trouble of finding out how these events unfolded you realise what a bunch of brain-dead, xenophobic, shit-stirers the people at Jyllands-Posten really are.
“This from someone trying to make a case against the publication of offensive material.”
LOL, you think my judgement on the people at Jyllands-Posten undermines my own argument. Hardly. It’s based on particular individuals and something they actually did. Whereas you feel qualified to judge 1.3 billion muslims on the actions of, well, some of them.
“You are justifying the carnage and death as necessary...”
No i’m not, you are talking complete shite.
“Have you ckecked out the link felix posted showing the cartoons printed in an eqyptian newspaper. It makes liars out of the protesters and idiots out of their apologists...”
No I didn’t check Felix’s link previously. Felix is a Judeofascist. I tend to give up about two lines into any of his rants. But I checked his link just now, as you seem to think it’s worth it.
Guess what? It’s in Arabic. Neither you nor Felix have the slightest idea what the article actually says.
Guess what else? It’s no scoop, it’s old news.
If you want to find out how the cartoons came to appear in an Egyptian newspaper read this - it’s written in a language you can actually understand:

Posted by on Feb 09, 2006 @ 09:24 PMIf anybody wants to look at what is being written on this on any of the Irish republican and neoleft sites they will find nothing is being written. ie they are supporting the Islamofascists. Silence is always eloquent!
Felix, why are you always so quick to make accusations? I looked on your site and I don’t see anything written about churches being burned in Alabama. Does that mean that you support the burning of churches?
Posted by on Feb 18, 2006 @ 12:12 AMWhile my first e-mail in support of what Neal claimed has been scrubbed - does this augur a new policy about such matters? - I just wanted to add that there was no silence on the Republican Bulletin Board about what its resident Islamophobe, Ron Kenan, was claiming, as I wrote a long denunciation of his dangerous hypocrisy.
